WATCH: Diddy jumps out of a plane and into Playboy Mansion for 49th birthday

To mark the rapper's 49th birthday on Sunday, Diddy decided to "live his best life" and fulfil his dream of skydiving and urged his fans to pray for him before he took to the skies.

The 'Last Night' singer shared a video of himself on Twitter while preparing to jump and in the clip, he said: "It's my birthday and I'm about to jump out of a plane, I always wanted to do it.

"No I didn't always really wanna do it but I started thinking about it this year I wanted to do it but it didn't happen.

"Then I said I was gonna do it for my birthday so I'm gonna jump out of a plane and attempt to land two houses away in the backyard of the Playboy Mansion okay.

"I'm living my best life and I wanna tell ya'll to make sure ya'll vote, say a little prayer for me right now I'm about to go up in the air."

However, the 'I'll Be Missing You' hitmaker wanted fans to know he had set his mind on the skydive before Will Smith performed a similar stunt in September.

He said: "I wanted to do this before I saw Will Smith jump out a plane but he definitely gave me some inspiration after seeing him jump out but mine was definitely scheduled so Will I don't want you to think I'm biting."
